A couple sits on a striped carpet ( durri ) inside a brightly lit chamber. The man stretches his arms, apparently having just awoken, while the woman kneels before him in a gesture of address. Architectural details on the second floor include niches for bottles and red curtains rolled up to allow a breeze to pass through colorful bamboo screens. Vigadh is also known as vihaga , a word for “morning” in Pahari languages.
